Fulbright and Fulbright-Hays Reception

On April 15, 2016, President Michael V. Drake, MD and Interim Executive Vice President and Provost Bruce McPheron recognized students, staff and faculty members from The Ohio State University who are recent Fulbright and Fulbright-Hays recipients and finalists, as well as visiting Fulbright students and scholars from around the globe, during a reception at the Longaberger House.

The reception took place during the 7th Annual Fulbright Week at Ohio State. The Graduate School, the Undergraduate Fellowship Office and the Office of International Affairs combined their efforts to plan a week full of events acknowledging past recipients and hosting workshops, information sessions and open houses designed to inform potential faculty, undergraduate and graduate student applicants about the opportunities available through the Fulbright and Fulbright-Hays programs during the week of April 11 - 15, 2016.

President Drake congratulated the honorees on their accomplishments and encouraged them to use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a better future for the world. Attendees also heard from former Fulbright and Fulbright-Hays recipient Heather Fair, who shared her past experiences performing research in Tibet.
